Nationwide — Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss has revealed that he has been battling cancer. The Minnesota Vikings legend shared the news in an Instagram post, saying he spent six days in the hospital for surgery.Moss, 47, appeared in the video using a cane to move but remained upbeat, wearing a “Team Moss” shirt with the message “Let’s Moss Cancer.” In the video, Moss said doctors discovered a cancerous mass in Moss’s bile duct, located between his pancreas and liver, after he noticed changes in his urine.
